Payroll Compliance filings kept on track.
We keep federal and California payroll filings, year-end forms, and records organized so requirements do not slip through the cracks.
Payroll compliance is a steady calendar of filings, deposits, and records. TreeStar tracks the federal payroll returns your business files, including Forms 941 and 940, and prepares year-end Forms W-2 and W-3. For California employers, we help with state payroll reporting to the Employment Development Department, which administers state payroll taxes and wage reporting. We also review new-hire reporting, employee classification questions, and payroll records retention. When rules change, we let you know how they may affect your business, so payroll compliance stays ahead of the calendar.

Common questions
What does the EDD handle?
The Employment Development Department administers California payroll taxes and wage reporting for most employers. We help you stay current with those requirements.
Can you help with worker classification?
We can help you review the facts and understand the payroll implications. Where legal questions arise, we work alongside your attorney.
What if I have employees in other states?
Out-of-state employees can create additional registration and filing requirements. We review your situation and outline what may apply.
